This insidious blockade. which is now in its fifth year. has left Armenia to face a harsh Caucasus winter without heating fuel. electricity or a safe water supply. Tens of thousands of people in Armeniamany of them refugees from antiArmenian violence in Azorbaijan. or those left homeless following the 1988 earthquakeare at risk of death by exposure and starvation unless the blockade is lifted. This is not the first time the Armenian people have endured privation in defense of their traditions and their independence. From the times of Alexander the Great.
